Scamorza Affumicata alla Griglia con Verdure Molisane
Isernia, Molise
Scamorza affumicata is a smoked, pulled-curd pasta filata cheese made from cow's milk with a distinctive pear shape tied at the neck. The Molisano version, made in the mountainous areas of Isernia, is grilled directly over charcoal or hardwood embers — the outside blisters and chars, the inside melts into a liquid, smoky cream. Served on a wooden board with grilled peppers, aubergine, and wild mushrooms as a vegetarian secondo.
